Merzbow - " Dying Mapa III " (Lowest Music & Arts Records) 1983

Another C-46 full of fingernails scraping down blackboards, colliding
with overloaded helicopter rotor blades slicing through electricity
pylons.This is the Vietnam war as heard from the inside of a Napalm
bomb, the agent Orange of horticulture.
Side A is definitely the more viscerally noisy of the two, with side B sounding like an out of control Numbers Station from a malevolent regime somewhere in the former eastern bloc.
They're watching you,and this is what it sounds like!

Cival Disobedience is good:

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”
